After Effects for Funsies - 02 Shape and Type

Daunted by type animation in After Effects? I gots you!

This class is all about simplifying the process for animating geometric shapes and type in After Effects. The possibilities this kind of animation unlocks is pretty endless, from simple email gifs to full motion graphics explainers. It’s up to you how far you want to push these tools!

I, Alyssa Smedley, AKA Horrible Horris, will be your teacher on this continued adventure into After Effects for Funsies.

While this class has been designed completely independently as a stand alone, first foray into Adobe After Effects, if you are really working from the beginning, you may find my previous class, Get Buzzing, of assistance on your ventures.

This class is for those folks stepping into After Effects for the very first time. Some previous experience with Adobe Creative Suite is recommended but absolutely not required.

At the end of this class, you will come away with sweet new skills in animation, a confidence to use Adobe After Effects and a short animated piece ready to show off to your bestie!

This class doesn’t require any unique assets as we’ll be making them as we go. I encourage you to use this opportunity to express yourself and create something uniquely yours.

This class is designed to be fun, light-hearted and to look at some clever ways to make animating shape and type really simple.
